Sometimes it is too overwhelming to say I have to lose 25 to 35 pounds. It is much more manageable to do it in five pound increments; ie lose five pounds and let your body adjust to that new weight. Then, using that as your starting point, lose five more pounds...take time to adjust and keep going. Worked for me 15 years ago when I lost 35 pounds and kept it off.
